| Re: ADD folder to "Files Stored On This Computer" group!!! Hi, To get an account's My Documents folder to appear in Windows Explorer (Files stored on this computer), add/edit a key in the DocFolderPaths branch like so: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\DocFolderPaths] "user"="C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents" In the right pane, right click and choose New/String Value. Give it the name of the user. Double click the name once added and type in: C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\My Documents -- Happy Easter, Kelly Microsoft-MVP Windows® XP Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "Dule" <dule@manija.net> wrote in message news:1aa5601c41e87$746375b0$a401280a@phx.gbl...

| Re: ADD folder to "Files Stored On This Computer" group!!! Nice try. Thank you, but... I have created a string, but obviously this works only when there is a certain user name to associate the folder with(maybe). ///What I want to do is to put simple folder's shortcut (for example C:\WHATEVER FOLDER\) right next to My Documents folder icon IN My Computer's "Files Stored On This Computer" group./// Any other suggestions??? P.S. I have a more than thousand pages book on WinXP and I can't seem to find a way to do this (I wonder if it's possible in the first place) Quote:

| Re: ADD folder to "Files Stored On This Computer" group!!! The book won't help you, trial and error will. Test it accordingly. There are many other measures other than that section of My Computer to add folders. Again, it takes trial and error, be creative. -- Happy Easter, Kelly Microsoft-MVP Windows® XP Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "Dule" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1ac0d01c41ec6$f24088d0$a501280a@phx.gbl...
